Transcription factor Msn2 dependent gene expression in two entomopathogen fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium robertsii under thermal and oxidaitve stresses
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Transcription factor Msn2 played crucial roles in mediating fungal stress tolerance, a determinant to the biocontrol potential of fungal entomopathogens. We characterized for the first time the functions of Beauveria bassiana Msn2 (BbMsn2) and Metarhizium robertsii (MrMsn2) by analyzing multi-phenotypic changes in Msn2-deletion and investigating transcription patterns of WT versus ΔMsn2 of B. bassiana and M. robertsii under thermal and oxidative stresses by using high throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq). Our transcriptional profiles revealed that numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which involved in transportation, detoxification, signal transduction, and energy metabolism, were significantly repressed in expression level.
